2 computers connected to the same network by the internet

AI Thread Summary
To share files between two computers on the same local area network (LAN), both computers must be connected to the same router, which assigns them unique local IP addresses. It is important to clarify that while the router has a single public IP address, each device on the network has its own distinct local address. For Windows XP users, enabling file sharing involves configuring network settings and may require rebooting the computers for shared folders to appear on the network. Additional resources, such as Microsoft's support page, can provide guidance on the setup process.

no i don't mean that they are connected to the same router, what i meant is, the 2 computers are connected to the same local area network(both take from the same network)...i have windows XP
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
